Longmont Amateur Radio Club-LARC

Serving the Longmont Colorado Community!

“The mission of the Longmont Amateur Radio Club is to promote, support, and lead amateur radio activities in a manner that honors and exemplifies the radio amateur’s code, builds camaraderie within our membership, and serves our community’s needs.”

Our club meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, at 6:30 PM in the Clover Building at the Boulder County Fairgrounds at 9595 Nelson Road in Longmont and via zoom.

We open the meeting at 6:30 PM for social time before the meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  After a short business meeting, including introductions, updates from board members and committee chairmen, and then a presentation, we typically include some additional Show and Tell and more socializing time at 8:00. The public is welcome at our club meetings.

We currently operate and maintain two repeaters: A VHF repeater on 147.270 MHz (+) offset and a 100 Hz tone and a UHF repeater on 448.800 MHz with a (-) offset and an 88.5 Hz tone. These are located on top of the Longmont Justice Center. They have excellent coverage into the Western Boulder County Canyons.
